Audience Theories gained from my production

2. Theories
 Hypodermic syringe theory
 Uses and gratifications
 Audience pleasures

3. Hypodermic syringe theory
 This mass audience theory can effectively be
applied to my production. As common ideologies
such good always triumphs over evil and gambling
and stealing is bad are injected into the audience,
and they unknowingly accept it.

4. Uses and Gratifications
 This theory can also successfully be applied to my
production. As the audience may preliminarily be
watching the production for entertainment, although
may also gain identification from it, as the lower
class audience can relate to Nathan and Curtis, who
both struggle for money.

5. Audience Pleasures
 Audience may also be watching the production for
pleasures such as counter culture: As the audience
may enjoy the life threatening situations which
Nathan and Curtis experience.
 They may also gain emotional pleasures, as in the
end Nathan is forced to kill Curtis, which could result
in crying.
